AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

Spectacular “Ajedrado” chess set, award-winning at the 1980 Geneva International Exhibition of Inventions.

It was invented by Jose Miguel de Vicente in Alcalá de Henares, Spain, and represented a revolution thanks to the multitude of combinations possible with this chess set. This is because each piece is a cube with six faces, so each piece can be turned into whichever piece we choose.

For this reason, thousands of possible combinations can be created for training or to suggest different exercises or tasks.

It is a very rare and original game, unlike the various chess sets of its time—and even those of today.

An essential item for any GM (Grandmaster) or serious collector of chess sets or antiques, prized for their exclusivity and significance.

The box is somewhat worn from age, but still serves its purpose. The pieces and everything else are in very good condition, as shown in the photos.
